son, charged with uDlawfnlly selling
liquor in the Indian Territory, ard who
had his examining trial b-fore United
States Commissioner Buriord, November

Deputy United States Marshal Tom Ger
rim for trial.
The policy which The GAZETTE is now
pursuing relative to inducing the rail-
roads to turn the tide of emigration to-
wards Texas meets responsive sentl-
ment in this city. A reporter called on
several of the leading citizens today and
obtained expressions from them which
speak for themselves.
Frank Holland of the Texas Farm and
Ranch said: "There are thousands OF
well-te-do people IN the north who de-
sire homes in some suitable locality
where the mildness of the climate will be
commensurate with the productiveness
of the soil, and there is no place
on earth that Is better adapted
to the needs of these people
than North T. xas. l took trip through
Michigan recently where they have cold
weather nearly six months in the year,
and the farmers ST that country actuaIly
get less returns for their labor than could
be had in Texas. think Texas furnishes
greater inducements to the immigrant
with small means than any other state In
the Union, not excepting California, and
THE GAZETTE deserves the highest COM
mendation for the enterprise and ag9res-
iveness it displays in showing to the
world the advantages OF the empire
state"
R. B. Cooley, of Cooley & Land, said:
"THE GAZETTE is on the right track, and
no mistake. We have the country with
merit-not all climate-and are proud to
show it, and the people that are looking
for cheap and desirable homes shsun
know it. Seeing is believing. Let the
railroads offer inducements in the way OF
reduced rates and they will come. Moth
ing takes like cheap railroad TICKET.
Less than one year ago we had two less
through trunk railroads thsn at present.
This gives lower rates ns we'll as rapid
transit. May THE GAZETTE succeed in
its lsudable effort "
B Blankenshlp of the Bianke7ship &
Blake Co said: II think The GAZETTE
is pursuing the right course, for in my
judgment the present is the
INST appropriate time for the
emigrant with small capital to
get a cheap and desirable home. 1t is
true, we had hard time of 1t on account
of the drouths in Western Texas, but
there are portions in North Texas where
the crops never fail, and the Chauces are
that crops will be excellent next year.
Lands Can be bought cheap; corn and
stock can be bought cheap The GA
ZETTE certainly exhibits enterprise IL
Tnis undertaking.
T. j. MarealIs of Msrsalis, Armstrong
& Co. said: "FHE GAZETTE hiss the
rgnt cue. North Texts is the best
everyday country in the world. The
soil is equal TO any and the climate is
neither too hot nor too cold. Railroads.
Leading into Texas have not shown the
enterprise of the railroads leading into the
Psc,fi; coast, or there would be food
of immigration pouring into this state
LIS true the railroads have been discOur-
aged on sccount of The drOuths in West
err Texas, but North Texas has lands
that never fsil to produce good crops.
These lands are fully equal to the lands
Of Illinois, Kansas or Iowa, and are much
cheaper. The railroads could do the peo-
pie great good by encouraging them to
come to Texas where they can find better
climate and superior soil for little money.
The course of The GAZETTE is CONNIE nd
sbie, and am glad to see the enterprise
it shows in stirring up the railroads about
this matter"
Oliver Thomas of Thomas & Bros,
said: "I think this Is move IN the
right direction, and think THE GAZETTE
should be encouraged IN pushing this
matter. North Texas is the best
country in America, and with
the great influence THE GAZETTE
Yields among Iorthern capitalists, l
1hirk it is emily question Of few months
when emigration Will flow this way"
George Ellis Of George Ellis & Co.,
said: 81 think THE GAzGrTE has struck
it right. North Texas Can't be beat by
any other country in the world and [ be-
ileve TIE GAZETTE Will succeed in it's
obiect. bet on THE GAZETTE quicker
than Anything else in the world, except a
horse race or an election"
S. D. 81 ke of the Blankenship & Blake
Co., said: "The vim If THE GAZE TIE in
this matter as struck my admiration.
My confidence in the future of North
Texas is Unlimited and when the boom
does come it will not be of the inflated
kind that made people crazy over cattle
| in Texas few years ago and
that is in existence in California at the
present lime for reaction is bound to
lme. Texas AFFORDS the best opport u
nifty for the settler with small resources
than ahv other country in America, and
hope THE GAZETTE will succeed, as am
sure it VIII, In awakirg the energies OF
the railroads to induce emigration to
come TO T. xss,"
Tho pss Field of the Dallas L,na and
Loan Company, said: "I've just en-
reading the editorials in The GAZETTE
about this matter and it mte,s with my
D. qualified endorse ment. North Texas
is the faest country in America, and the
haven for settlers with moderate capital.
THE GAZETTE deserves the highest credit
for i,s move in this matter
